Marjan Pejoski

In an increasingly corporate fashion climate, Marjan
Pejoski seems to be intent on just having fun. This
season he turned his rose-strewn runway into a
dramatic fashion aviary.

Pejoski's clothes are not exactly everyday
basicsunless your idea of a go-anywhere look is a
pair of fur hot pants, high boots and a bat-sleeved,
wide-knit sweater with a gigantic beaded peacock
appliqué. Other options included a giant net top with
dangling trompe l'oeil plumage, and a bodysuit
embellished with a feathery creature whose generous
wingspan somehow failed to conceal the
wearer's breasts. How to top off the madness? Consider
an ostrichlike creation with a long neck and head
that needed to be constantly held up, or Pejoski's
closing outfit, which literally turned Alek Wek into a
dazzling swan.
